Buyer's Guide - Ash Research

The Buyer's Guide was developed as a special project under the Coal Ash Resources Research Consortium (CARRC) program at the EERC. Tennessee Valley Authority, Great River Energy, and the U.S. Department of Energy-National Energy Technology Laboratory provided funding for the development of the guide.

The CARRC program is an international consortium of industry, government, and academia working together to solve coal combustion by product (CCB)-related problems and promote the environmentally safe, technically sound, and economically viable use and disposal of these materials. As a result, CARRC has:

Generated scientific and engineering information applicable to CCB regulations and specifications.
Developed improved CCB characterization methods.
Demonstrated new and improved CCB use applications.
Transferred technical information and technology developed through its work to CARRC members and the public.

CARRC tasks, which are developed and prioritized based on member input, are designed to provide CCB performance data, including environmental performance, engineering performance, economics, and product and project life cycle. The technical data gleaned from CARRC work continues to build the CCB information pool.

To leverage industrial member contributions and facilitate an increased level of research, CARRC has partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy through the EERC Jointly Sponsored Research Program, which provides matching funds for member contributions.
